No Christmas cheer as burglars make off with laptops from store in Boxing Day raid

The footage – filmed in the early hours of Boxing Day – shows seven masked lads burst in through the shop door in Sandy Springs, Atlanta.

The gang then methodically sweep through the display items – including laptops and other accessories – until there isn't a product in sight.

Store owner Neil Kent even went to the trouble of buying a fool proof safe after other burglaries were reported in the area but it was not bolted down and the thieves took it with them.
